Holding the camera
Sometimes when you look at a picture you have taken, the contours of the
subject are blurred. This is often caused by movement of the camera at the
precise moment that the shutter button is pressed.
Picture where subject is not clearly defined
To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both
hands while keeping your elbows at your sides. When taking pictures
with the camera in the vertical position, hold the camera so that the flash
is positioned higher than the lens. Keep your fingers and the strap away
from the lens and flash.
